In the distance he saw a large

In the back part of the house the
little family could hear every word.
"More prisoners " continued the
old man, Sand more to come"
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
The soldiers were passing by the
house.
Suddenly the Colonel stopped his
promenade. Shading his eyes with
one hand, he gazed intently up the
street.

the victorious enemy.
Without a word the Colonel sank
into an armchair, and allowed his
grand head, so proudly poised a
moment before, to fall forward on
his breast.
And it was thus that they found
him. Attracted by the stirring
notes of the "Star Spangled Ban

came TO the door.
They gave a little scream of sur.
prise and terror when they saw
their enemies, and it flashed upon
them that the Confederates had
abandoned the place in the night.
Then they rushed to their friend
and protector. He neither moved
nor spoke.
His daughter gently raised his
head and uttered a cry OF agonized
grief.

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
FARM NOTES.

The corn that will keep best for
seed is that which has cured well
on the stalk and been hung in
dry place.
Young steers can be made to in
crease very rapidly. A steer in In
diana twenty.four months old
weighs 1916 pounds.
The value and Importance OF a
diversity of crops was very appar-
ent this year where drought pre-
vailed. Do not place all Deepen
dence on a single crop.
Where the dry weather has in
jured the pasture keep the sheep
of. as they Craze very close, the
effect of which would be felt by the
pasture crop next season.
To show what may be obtained
by good breeding 1T has been
stated that in England 1900 sheep
recently brought $4,000, which is
over $l2 each, and a very large
sum for so many at one sale.
The turkeys should be given full
range now, as there are no crops
they can harm. They will find a
large portion of their food, and a
large flock can be raised at a very
small cost if given plenty Of room.
Though the Jerseys begin to
breed when quite young, there are
other breeds that sometimes have
exceptions. A Western farmer has
a Galloway heifer which, though
only Is months old, has given
birth to a calf.
If may be expensive TO employ
an inexperienced mixer. Farming,
like other occupations, depends
on knowledge. SO.called cheap
labor may be very costly In the
end, and more so in the dairy than
in any other work on the farm.
If you kept a careful account of
the yield of each COW last winter
you will know which to dispense of
now. Every farmer SHOULD keep a
strict account with his dairy cows in
order TO avoid loss from one while
receiving a profit from another.
If the steers be poor and refuse
to eat, or do not thrive, look tor
lice. If lice be present sponge
them with a solution of insect
powder, and give each steer a half
pint of lInseed meal daily in the
food. Many of the ills of cattle
may be attributed to lice.
A Kentucky farmer recommends
that the best way to kill out willows
is to peel them three or four feet
from the ground down to the earth,
severing the bark from the tree,
which should be done the latter
part of spring, leaving the trees to
stand, which die and make excellent
stOyewOod.
On those farms where the animals
are made 10 pasture and pick up
the greater portion Of their food
the best breed for crossing on the
native stock is the Devon, which is
a beautiful red in color, larger
than the native and active in habits,
the cows also being much above
the average as mixers and butter
prOnuceTS.
Those who claim to have given
attention to the matter state that
wet and dry seasons occur at regu.
lar intervals, but as the drought
may be prevalent IN one section
while plenty of rain falls IN another
the claim cannot extend to the
whole country. If it could be shown
concluslvely that drought occur at
stated periods the knowledge of
such a fact would save much loss.
Until recently the most expert
enced seedsmen and gardeners
recommended the free use Of salt
on aSDarcpus hpds Like other

this commentator is amply sustained by
the large circulation it has attained both

must commend themselves to the judg-
menU of parents, no less than to the tastes
OF children-namely, by an earnest and
well sustained effort to provide the best
and most attractive reading for young
people at a low price. The illustrations
are copious and of conspicuously high
standard of excellence.
